3 months until the end of the year – madness! I’m not sure about you but I just cannot believe that we are already at the end of September! This means I’ve got just 6 weeks until we go on holiday – and I can’t wait! This is usually our biggest (expense wise) family holiday of the Autumn/Winter seasons and I can’t wait now. We really need some downtime to relax together, chat, eat good food and not have any work to worry about.
The end of August already. Wow! I’m excited as September is my Christmas prep month and I’m looking forward to achieving lots. I can’t wait to see what the cooler months bring opportunity wise for my family, as I always feel at my most productive and organised when it is not so hot. My Aims for August 2018 – the results are now live!
Another month has zipped by – amazing! I can’t wait for the hotter weather to be over and done with, as I’m just not much of a sun worshipper! Anyway, here we go – my aims for July 2018 – the results!
Roll back 5 years or so and I had debt. Quite a bit. We had moved into a home together, got married and needed to furnish our home in a short space of time. While we were fortunate, that our parents helped out a little with money, we paid for the bulk of our wedding and furnishing our home ourselves. While we managed to work hard and get out of debt by repaying everything, I know this isn’t always an option. Today I’m bringing you a collaborative post to let you know what you need to know about a Trust Deed, to help you work out if it is the right debt solution for you.
Being a parent is so challenging at times. Emotionally, physically and financially. From the day our daughter was born, back in March 2016, we started a savings fund for her. Each month, when Thomas gets paid, we put away a small fixed sum of money for Daisy. This just comes out automatically, and moves to a savings account, and is basically painless. We don’t miss the money, and it goes before we allocate our money to bills, savings and spends. It isn’t a vast sum but it soon adds up and Daisy is already into the early thousands with her savings, just from these small amounts. Recently I have been thinking about the long-term, and the best way to grow Daisy’s money, for her future, without having to increase the amount of money that we are saving. Today I want to talk to you about Junior ISAs, or JISAs, as they are often known, from Wealthsimple. I have been toying with the idea of opening one and think I’m ready to take the leap!
